Aspire Academy Trust

"Vision 25"

VISION 25 is the name of the Aspire Strategic Development Plan which is designed to shape the direction of the trust through to 2025, and beyond. Its key objective is delivering equity and excellence in all that we do and in order to achieve this, we have FIVE strategic priorities, that are each linked to one (or more) of the Aspire values:
